Haven't quite figured out what's up with these free census sites, but I've been unable to access the Fremont Library site today as they asked for a password. Prior to today, no problem. Try this: http://www.burlington.lib.ia.us/ I could get on this site all day today. I suspect a conspiracy with Heritage Quest and a few libraries to subscribe to their census data with the return being that the library allow consumers 'free' access to their sites for awhile. Heritage Quest plants the "FREE" census data to us hungry folks so that we will then subscribe. I don't know how much a subscription costs, but with the way their data comes up and the info they provide, it may be worth it. Remember they are in competition with genealogy.com, ancestry.com, and the other large genealogy websites. So, get in there and get your 1870 data before we're made to pay to what rightfully belongs to us anyhow! Bonnie/IL
